Tool Flank Wear Analysis for MQL Assisted Milling of Strenx 1100 Structural Steel

Strenx 1100 structural steel has unique material properties enables to utilize in important engineering applications such as marine and heavy vehicles. Due the surface integrity of parts produced by this is paramount importance, tool wear condition needs be considered well. As being applicable easy measure, flank (VB) widely preferred field reflects remaining life. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) been most recently machining operations especially for hard-to-cut materials improve machinability characteristics. This paper contains experiments further analysis during MQL assisted milling steel. Cutting speed, feed rate depth cut were included experimental plan Taguchi L9 design was adopted. Measured results evaluated with 3d plots, variance (ANOVA) optimization parameters carried out depend on signal noise (S/N) ratio. Accordingly, cutting speed first parameter affecting about 53.2% followed 35.77%. Parametric S/N ratio shows that order theall need selected minimum which observed graphs increase amount higher levels. comprehensive a guide practical industry providing limitations applying wide range parameters.
